A Word About Catarrh.

at is the mucous membrane, that wonder
full semi-tuid envelope surrounding the deli
cate tissues of the air and food passages, that
Catarrh makes its stronghold. Once estaD-
ished, il eats into the very vitas, and renders
life but lOng-drawn breath of misery and
disease, dulling the sense of hearing, tram
melting the power of speech, destroying the
faculty of smell, tainting the breath, and kill
ing the refined pleasures of taste. 1nsidious-
ly, by creeping on from simple cold in the
head, it assaults the membranous lining and
envelOps the bones, eating through the deli
cate coats and causing Inflammation, slough
ing and death. Nothing short of total eradi-
cation will secure health to the patient. and
all alternatives are simply prOCrastinated suf-
ferings, leading to fatal termination. SAN
FORD'S RADICAL CURE, by Inhalation and by
Internal administration. has never failed:
even when the disease has made frightful in
roads on delicate constitutions, hearing
smell and taste have been recovered, and the
disease thoroughly driven out"
SANFORD's RADICAL CURE consists Of one
bottle Of the RADICAL CURE, one box CA

HUMORS
And all Skin and Scalp Diseases
Speedily Cured by Cuticura.

Our little son will be four: years of age on
the 18th inst. In May, 1885, he was attacked
with very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called in physician who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received 1T
tie or no good from the treatment, as the
breaking out, supposed 10y the physician to be
hives in an aggravated form, became larger
IN blOtCheS, and more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged to get up in the
night and rub him with soda in water, strong
linimCntS, etc. Finally, we called Other ply
sicians, until no less than six had attempted
to cure him, all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse, until about
the Oth of last July, when we began to give
him CUTICURA RESOLVENT internally, and the
CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP externally, and
by the last August he was so nearly well that
we gave him only one dose of the ResOlvcnt
about every second day for about ten days
longer, and he has never been troubled since
with the horrible maady. In all we used less
than one half of II bottle of CutiCura RCsOlv-
ent, a little less than one box of Cuticura, and
only one cake of CutCura Soap.

A Chinese COMPLEXION,

When observed in one of the Caucasian race,
is indicative of bile in the blood. Who would
be yellow when he or she can exhibit the hue
of health on cheek and brow through the aid
of HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, an antagonist
mt whose onset liver complaint takes refuge in
flight. Fur upon the tongue, nausea, sick
aeanache, pains under the right ribs and
shoulder blade, and unpleasant OdOrous
breath, are remediablc with this benign alter
alive, which does not, like potent cathartic,
drench the intestnes or, like the mercurial
preparations, cOntamiDate the blood. Not
only the liver, but the stomach and DO gels
are aroused, toned and regulated by this fine
family medicine, which has won the con-
fidence of the respectable classes, not by start
ling assertions on its behalf, but by the con-
sistenCy of the claims made for ii with its
performance in every instance when tested.

A sEAsnN of general thanksgiying

A SEASON OF general thanksgiving
should be held. Those side-tracked
bonds have arrived. 1t is now in order
to accept Mrs. Mavericks proposition
and build an elegant city hall on land
donated to the city. No need spending
$4O,CC0, or even forty cents for location,
when the most eligible property IN town
is offered without money and without
price. Sell the bonds, locate the city
hall, rush on the municipal improve
ments for which this city is waiting and
watching like maiden for her lover, give
the unemployed a chance to work, and
let those bonds answer the end Of their
creation.

Don,tLaugh at Nervous People.

Their suferings are very Zeal, although you,

which. in removing every trace of dyspepsia,
and regulating the liver and bowels, strikes at
and cXtirpatcs the most prolific cause of
chronic nervous trouble. That nerye-sh halter
ing disease, fever and ague, is among the for
midable ailments, to the removal of which this
genial remedy is specially adapted. Nervous
prostratiOn, resulting from prolonged mental
or physical effort. is also Il state of the system
where the Intervention of this tonic is very
desirable, more particularly as its use is to
quiet and relax the tension of overweight
nerves. The BittCrs are invaluable in rheu-

NOT A SAVING AFTER ALL.

NOT A SAVING AFTER ALL.
The democratic secretary Of the treas
ury has been quite generally Landed by
partisan press for his purchase of im-
mature bonds as q saving Of several
thousands of dollars to the United
States treasury. The conclusion is not
warranted by the facts. Bids for these
bonds were opened on the tenth Of Au-
gust. On the following day 81, 100000
were accepted at a premium OF 8 A. or
these bonds 81 100000 were registered
bonds, the rest coupons. At that date
registered bonds were quoted in New
York at 1888; the coupon bonds l095 The
premium on these bonds would be $780,
coo. Secretary Fairchild, in paying Fiske,
Hatch & Co., 109.44, for bonds
only quoted at 1883 and 100 rs respect
lively, paid them $4,000 more than the
New York stock spectators offered, and
S23O,OOO plus 5000 more than the Unit
ed States herself promised to pay. That
is In effect to say that on the eleventh
day of August Secretary FairChild in
creased the public debt Of the United
States $236,OOO, for on that day he paid
S2,736, 600 for bonds, which this govern
ment only agreed to pay $2,5OO,0OO for.
Secretary Fairchild charges two per
cent. per annum for he use of money to
those who ask their interest in advance,
and charging himself with this sum the
cost of the bonds he purchased is
raised to the sum OF S2,97S,300. Had
these bonds remained In the hands Of
holders until maturity they would have
cost, principal and interest until re-
demption, the sum of $2,950,0 600. Thus
Secretary Fairchild pays the bondhOld-
ers who cooperate with him in reducing
the surplus of the United States, SIS, 800
out OF the United States Treasury
direct, over and alb We the price of the
bonds and the interest they would bring
until maturity. He has actually added
$4,000 to the debt ofthe United States,
and it is In order for him to rise and ex-
plain by what authority he does this
thing.
The same is true OF that $3.50, eco pur-
chased on the first day. The treasury
experts figure out profit Of $23, 725, on
this transaction. The following table
from the Washington Republican pune
lures that calculation most effectually.

The attempt to brand as traitors to

resent the fragrant insults heaped upon
the veteran soldiers Of this nation, by

ter. Such men as Governor Foraker and

without reason. Their loyalty and de-
votion cannot be successfully question
ed, and the mills of the gods which
grind slow while grinding fine, will
sooner or later crush the power that
